Does CSOSA supervise juvenile offenders?
CSOSA does not supervise offenders charged as juveniles; this remains the responsibility of the DC Government. However, CSOSA does supervise offenders charged as adults, some of whom could be under the age of 18. During FY 2009, CSOSA supervised 61 offenders under the age of 18. [Back] I’m an offender and I need a job, what can CSOSA do to help me? CSOSA’s Vocational Opportunities, Training, Education and Employment Unit (VOTEE) provides assistance to offenders to develop a plan to improve educational functioning, find a job, and retain employment. Community Supervision Officers refer unemployed offenders who have less than a high school education and/or documented learning disabilities to VOTEE for assessments to determine whether the offender is suited to educational services or vocational opportunities. For more information on CSOSA’s educational and vocational services see VOTEE Services.
